IIT-Kharagpur grads offered Rs 80 lakh package

Placements at IIT Kharagpur have started with a bang. Three students have bagged salaries of Rs 80 lakh per annum while eight others have got annual offers of Rs 75 lakh each from Google and Microsoft.

"All the students are from the computer science department. The three Google recruits will be based in Mountain View, US, while the other eight will be in Redmont," said Rinhul Chandra, vice-president of the student's council in IIT-Kgp. The placements started on December 1 and the first phase will last till December 20.

Last year, the highest salary offered at IIT-Kgpwas Rs 78 lakh from Facebook, while in 2010, Dhiraj Kumar Singh had bagged a Rs 1.7 crore offer from Facebook which is the highest ever across all IITs. Though, the highest pay packages sky-rocketed this year, the minimum offers averaged around Rs 7-8 lakh.

"Till now, 650 of 1,775 students have been placed. This is the largest batch in the history of the IITs. Only if any student is left to find a job, we will have a second phase from February," said Chandra.

This is a quick tutorial for implementing graph data
structure with adjacency list representation. Once I was looking on the web to
have a simple introductory tutorial on graphs, but unfortunately couldn’t find
one simple enough. So I decided to write this.
In the adjacency list representation,

èAll the vertices are stored in an array of
structure containing ‘data’ and ‘link’ fields.

èThe linked chains represent the edges of a
vertex with its neighbors.
In the figure, there are 6 vertices,
represented by the array of length 6, and the chains represent the edges.
Below is another example:

Let us first define the structure of a vertex in a graph.

struct vertex { int vertexKey; struct edge *edgePtr; }vertex;

The
vertexKey is the data field of the vertex, and edgePtr is the edge pointer,
declared next.

Target audience for this tutorial
People familiar with Spring and databases, and willing to use Amazon DynamoDB as datastore.

Technologies usedSpring BootGradleJetty server

Amazon ToolsAmazon DynamoDBAmazon AWS SDKAmazon IAM

Steps
1. Creating DynamoDB table
At this point it is assumed that you have a working AWS account. Go to DynamoDB console from you AWS dashboard. In my case the direct URL was https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/home?region=us-west-2
You may need to subscribe to the service if you are there for the first time. Go ahead and create a table. You won't be charged until you create a table from the console. At this time create a basic table with an index. You can later edit it to add additional fields.
If the table is 'ACTIVE', browse it and add a new test item.
Now you have enough data to be accessed from you local instance to test.
2. Creating IAM User
For you to access dynamoDB from your spring application, you will need a secret id and secr…

When I (Anil Kishore) started taking part in algorithmic programming contests, for more than two years, it was just me, lot of problems, very few algorithms, my ideas and my Java codes. With that, I would have probably been still a green rated coder, working for a software company in Bangalore after moving between two or three places, still in search of the right things to do. But why ? Problems, Algorithms, my Ideas and my Codes.. what else I need ? This is where many Indian coders make mistake. Almost two years after joining TopCoder (TC), I started interacting with fellow coders, knowing more about them, reading lots of others codes, being active in forums and part of the wonderful community. That was the crucial part of my career so far. TC has some interviews of foreign coders and they are very interesting to read. Knowing more about our own Indian coders will be more fun, especially for beginners to get inspired. This is the least I can contribute to the wonderful community that…
